BRACKET FOR CLOTHlNG=CABlNETS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 16, 1907.

Application filed May 2, 1906. Serial No. 314,734.

- citizen of the United States, residing at the city, county, and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBrackets for Clothing-Cabinets, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description.

My invention relates to fixtures or attachments for clothing-cabinets,and particularly to a new form of bracket, as shown in the accompanyingtwo sheets of drawings.

The object of the invention is to provide a construction which willaccommodate a number of garment-hangers in a compact space and yet makeit possible to exhibit the garments fully.

The invention consists in improvements in the supporting member of thebracket, in the carriage, in stops for the carriage, and in supports forthe hangers.

Figure 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of a cabinet, showing two bracketsof my invention in place, one bracket being partially extended andthe'other tully extended and in position for displaying garmentshungtherefrom. Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a fragment of the top ofthe cabinet, showing the two brackets and attached parts in thepositions of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view andelevation of a bracket embodying the improvements of my invention, theparts being shown partially extended. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectionalview showing the support for the carriage and its extensible member.-Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view showing the expanding step-block.Fig. (3 is a horizontal sectional view and plan of one of thehanger-bars, showing a stop for limiting its rotative movement.

1 indicates the body of a double cabinet, having doors 2, which arehinged at the sides and adapted to slide back into pockets, as iscustomary. It will be obvious, however, that the invention is equallyapplicable to single cabinets and whether having sliding or swingingdoors. So, also, the invention may be applied to a cabinet having anynumber of sections.

3 is the guide member of the bracket, which is adapted to be secured ina cabinet or other convenient place, as underneath a shelf. This guidemember is preferably formed of a metal tube having a slot in its underside and slightly inclined toward the front for facilitating the forwardmovement of the carriage.

d is the main portion of the carriage, which is also preferably formedfrom a metal tube.

5 5 are arms which extend upward through the slot in the under side ofthe guide Each oi these arms has a pair oi rollers 6 6, located withinthe guide, adapted to travel along the flanges termed by the under sidethereof. The rear arm 5 is preferably longer than the front arm 5, sothat the carriage is sub st ant i al ly horizontal.

7 and 8 are two bars rotatably supported from the under side of thecarriage and preterably provided with stop-pins 9 and 10 for limitingtheir movement.

The outer ear 8 is preferably carried by an extensilrle member 11, whichslides in the tuiru ar poi tion of the carriage. To reduce the irictionvetween the extensible member 11 and the tubular member 4, I haveprovided two series or hall-hearings l2 and 13, arranged in suitable,pockets. The weight of the extensilx-le member 11 and its attached partscauses the hearing 12 to he held against the under surface oi the top ofthe tubular member a and causes the extensible member to rest upon thebearings 13.

14 is a split block mounted in the tubular guide 8 and irictionallyengaging the sides to cause it to act as a stop against the forwardmovement of the carriage. For expanding this block I have provided anex- PitliSlOD-SCIQW 15 and a handle 16 for operating it. This handlealso serves to draw the stop-block forward or move it backward, as maybe desired.

17 is a spring which may be provided at the rear for giving the carriagea normal impulse toward the front. Normally, however, the carriage isforced to the rear and held by means of the stop-block 14c.

The extensible member 11 is normally teleseeped in the tubular portion 4of the carriage, so that the parts will be in as compact a space aspossible, the bars 7 and S be mg arranged beneath the carriage and guideguide, it s1 20 20 indicate hangers for supporting garments. Thesehangers are adapted to he hung on the bars 7 end 8 and oi course may herotated with them from thepositioi'i shown j at the left in Fig. 1 tothe position shown it When the carriage is extended 3 s 7 end 8 tin-owninto their cross- 5 Wise position, the edges oi" the garments sup portedby the hungeis 20 20 are dismayed to view.
